"You know as well as I do it's not about what you look like, or your job, or how successful you are. It's about having people in your life that you love and who love you... that's all that matters."

MIRANDA

The clothes a surgeon wears help to present an image. The lab coats and badges and scrubs all work together to indicate a person of authority, someone you can trust. When the clothes come off, that's a different story. We're sensitive, lonely, human.

Meredith

When we follow our hearts, when we choose not to settle, it's funny. Isn't it? A weight lifts, the sun shines a little brighter, and for a brief moment, we find a little peace.

Meredith

He should be with someone who wants a baby and you should be with someone who wants you.

Alex: Meredith, I'm not going to potty train your kid.
Meredith: Sorry, you're right. Forget it.
Alex: Already did.

The world keeps going without you.

Meredith

Nobody chooses to be a freak. Most people don't realize they're a freak until it's way to late to change it. No matter how much of a freak you end up being, chances are there's still someone out there for you. Unless of course, they've already moved on. Because when it comes to love, even freaks can't wait forever.

Meredith

MEREDITH: "McSteamy! Woo hoo!"
MARK: "McSteamy? That's what you're calling me now?"
MEREDITH: "Yes... but I don't think you are supposed to know that."
MARK: "How's my favorite dirty mistress?"
MEREDITH: "No, now I'm an adulterous whore!"

Derek: Hey. Come on in. This is a CT of Katie Bryce. 16 year old female, subarachnoid aneurysm.
Meredith: From a fall during rhythmic gymnastics. I remember.
Derek: I remember, it was the first surgery we ever scrubbed in together on. Our first save. Right here is a cerebral cyst. Tough save, but we did it. I kissed you in the stairwell after the surgery. And this right here is where Dr Bailey kicked you out of the surgery, because she caught us in your driveway, in my car. And right here, this is a seven hour craniotomy. You held the clamp the entire time, never flinched. That's when I knew you were gonna be an incredible surgeon. Beth Monroe, made our clinical trial a success by surviving. You talked me into putting her under. That's when I knew I needed you. And this is today, post op head CT of Izzie Stevens. You see that? Right there. Tumor free. Because of you. You got me into the OR. If there's a crisis, you don't freeze, you move forward. You get the rest of us to move forward. Because you've seen worse. You've survived worse, and you know we'll survive too. You say you're all dark and twisty. It's not a flaw, it's a strength. It makes you who you are. I'm not gonna get down on one knee, I'm not gonna ask a question. I love you Meredith Grey, and I wanna spend the rest of my life, with you.
Meredith: And I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.

We have a phrase in the operating room. Don't pet the lion. It means no matter how nice a tumor looks, how small it is, how perfect it's margins may be, it's still a tumor. It's still dangerous and it can bite.

Meredith: Are you sure? There’s going to be a piñata.
Callie: Shut up.
Meredith: And pin the head on the skeleton.
Callie: Damn it. They’re so cute when they’re blindfolded.
Meredith: Bobbing for apples.
Callie: They’re even cuter when they bob.

MIRANDA: "Since when do you 'get out?'"
ADDISON: "Clearly, I'm not myself today."
MIRANDA: "Never would have figured Mark Sloan to be your type."
ADDISON: "He's not... he's not... What is he doing here? He's not supposed to be here. I can't have him here, I can't. He's supposed to be in New York. I can't function with him here. I'm a professional here, people respect me here, but when he's here I'm just... I'm..."
MIRANDA: "A woman who gets the hots for man candy and cheats on her husband."
ADDISON: "That is rude. And unkind. And completely true. And oh my God, what am I gonna do?"
MIRANDA: "For starters, you can keep your knees closed in his presence."
ADDISON: "Miranda!"
MIRANDA: "You asked. And also, you can remember, that no man, not Derek, not Mark, defines who you are."
